Tried the bubble tea and it was decent. I don't like a lot of sweeteners in my green tea. Service was good but was a little confusing just because I didn't want it super sweet. Local is nice but wasn't quite sure what they were going for. May come back if I'm in this area read more

Wave Ice Cream & Boba Tea - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Destin, Florida

Was looking for some coffee that was close to our hotel and this place looked good. They have a lot of options and there was no wait. I chose the frozen caramel latte and it was good but nothing to rave about. Wish it was a little more sweet and more frozen but got the caffeine I needed! The location is good, close to the beach and walkable from the hotel. read more

We stopped in for a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning. My husband ordered a latte and I had a white mocha latte. We both enjoyed our drinks plus our server was very friendly. If you are looking for something different than the standard chain coffee joints, this is a great place to check out. read more

This place was the best find on our recent trip! The boba teas were amazing! The coffee was delicious and the açaí bowls were huge portions, great ingredients and priced well. We loved everything we had here and the shop itself had a cool beach vibe. The people working were AWESOME! Super friendly, gave recommendations and were so much fun! They were dancing, singing, smiling... it was a great experience! We'll be here every day on our next trip! I got the mango black tea with strawberry boba and was wanting more! So good! read more

Hot summer day, went for some ice cream. A group before us had a long order of drinks so it took a really long time. And it was super hot inside. It was hotter inside than it was outside. We were very close to leaving. But one of us stuck with it while we waited outside, and their ice cream was awesome! I got a coffee cookie dough-type ice cream along with pistachio, and both were excellent. 5 stars for the ice cream. It's really too bad it's so terrible inside. No air, no fan, and apparently the air conditioner is on but you can't feel it. Next time I would probably call ahead, and run in and get it when it's done. We ate the delicious ice cream in our car with the AC blasting, really was the only choice. read more

Wave Ice Cream & Boba Tea is a desert spot in Destin that is family-friendly and fun! They offer a variety of desserts and some food options like, acai bowls, smoothies, boba/bubble tea, ice cream, and avocado toast. I ordered the Bee Pollen Acai Bowl. It was good, but I was not a fan of the honey they used. It was too thick and made the bowl kind of difficult to eat. The acai base itself was delicious! I'd like to call myself an acai bowl connoisseur, so I'd give the bowl like a 7.56 out of 10. The boba was pretty bad. As an Asian-American, I will also call myself a boba connoisseur and the tapioca pearls were really hard to chew and felt like they were old. A true boba fanatic knows you can tell the authenticity of the boba depending on how good the boba is cooked. I've tried it twice, and the boba was like that both times. I hope they can put the boba in a warming bowl or crock pot throughout the day to help the texture. I really enjoy the ambiance of the spot. They sell cute little stuffed animals and other Knick-knacks. The vibe is super cool, as there are cool art work and paint done throughout the place and even in the restroom! I really enjoyed the vibe and think they did a 10 out of 10 for the interior. They have a huge seating area that has a cool marble finish with their logo engraved in! Looks classy with that pink velvet cushion. Plus, the two workers that I met were nice! I do recommend to go and get their acai bowls read more

This is for the young but not-so young man holding down the fort at the Wave morning and afternoon for the last week, you're the real MVP. Anytime I have come here during my 7-day stay in Destin, you were the cashier, coffee maker, açaí maker, ice cream scooper, stocker and everything in between in the mornings- ALL BY YOURSELF. You never once showed you were sweating or under pressure, you were so patient, kind and considerate of everyone that came in. If I was in your shoes, I would have been a little overwhelmed but you handled it gracefully. You made me an amazing iced caramel latte one morning and I'm still thinking about how great it was. Thank you for the coffee!! To your management: after leaving your shop one morning, there was a lady delivering "thinking of you flowers" so I am going to assume that someone at the shop was going through a hard time and that's why you were short staffed. I think this business charges a hefty price for coffee for there to only be one person managing the cashier, creating the orders and stocking not to mention keeping an eye out on the candy. In all my years of buying coffee, I've never had anyone tell me that they're out of coffee beans and that it'll be delivered soon. But I'm also human who has experienced loss and can understand that something like that can happen when the unexpected happens. I'm sorry for what you're going through and wishing you strength. Overall, an amazing one-stop-shop for a lot of great things! Highly recommend.' read more

My daughter and I came in and it was really busy. One guy working. But he was quick to get orders and friendly! Their menu had a great variety of healthy options. I woukd come back! We both got boba. My daughter wasn't sure if she'd like the kiwi popping and he let her try it! read more

This place is one of the best boba options in Destin, Fort Walton, and Niceville! The interior is very clean and chic and I've only seen one employee which seems to be the same guy the other comments mention, props to him! Although, there's been a couple instances where the shop will be closed randomly even though they are supposed to be open...I can only assume it's because this shop has limited staffing. I do sympathize but it would be nice to know when this boba place is reliably open. A suggestion is updating on their facebook. Overall, I still enjoy this place a lot. They have a lot of flavors which is hard to find around here read more

By far the worst experience I've had in Destin. The cashier did not acknowledge my husband + 4 kids. He waited 10 minutes without ensuring he and the kids would be helped. He walked out. I came back 10 minutes in hopes that he was wrong. Later only to encounter a the same blonde cashier to serve me and my kids. We waited patiently for 5 minutes to be served. That really didn't bother me at first but what bothered me most was her attitude. While I was ordering she cut me off to make 2 of my drinks, and made one completely WRONG. When I asked her to downsize from a teddy cup to a regular cup before she made the drink. She rolled her eyes and said she "already portioned it out". What made me very angry is she was not inviting, her rude behavior, and the sense of no respect for a paying customer with my little kids wanting ice cream and smoothie on this hot day. If you ask me, I feel like low key she a RACIST . I would not recommend this experience to anyone in the area. Wait time to be served greater than 15 minutes when they did not have anyone in there in line. Save time, money and your some stress. read more

Extremely slow service, truly took like 20 minutes to make a single açaí bowl. Worker decided to make other orders before letting us pay for our to go order, açaí melted before even reaching out vehicle. read more

This was our first time here and we got inline super exited to try our coffee. After waiting 10minutes and being skipped over he finally said he would be right with us. Keep in mind we were next inline and at the register waiting for him to take our order. He then went to the two people behind us and started taking their order. We were very confused since we had been in line this whole time and were just going to get two coffees. They were extremely unprofessional and all over the place. I understand one of them was in training but they should figure something out to be able to take everyone order accordingly. Me and my sister and the guy before us all ended up walking out after getting tiered of them not being able to place our order read more

Love to rate the food but we never even got any service to ordering something. The worker was too busy wandering around swiping ever so often a counter top while on their phone. We in the store patiently waiting and were totally ignored. After close to five minutes of waiting and watching him ignore us we walked out. Went down the street to another establishment. read more

My girls were so excited to try some bubble tea but asked fir a recommendation. The lady told them to try a milk base with the chewy bubbles that come with and they took *1* sip and they hated it and had to throw them away. It was a complete waste of $25 & we've learned to never go off recommendations anymore. The establishment was clean, but had a weird smell. The worker seemed hygienic and used gloves while making the drinks and she was very nice. read more

Right when I walked in I felt heat. They have their employees working with no air and two loud fans that do nothing to cool in July Florida heat. I ordered a pineapple smoothie that was good, but tasted like a just banana smoothie. My original intent was to get a bubble tea, but they didn't have much when it comes to traditional flavors. Good for kids who don't know better. read more

My family and I went there recently. We got icecream and I ordered boba. I highly recommend the coconut flavored milk tea boba and the lil' blue panda icecream flavor. My mother also enjoyed her icecream which was called mint grasshopper. The only complaints I had is that the prices were rather high and the worker seemed a bit quiet which was sorta off-putting but it seemed like she was just having a rough day. Overall, It was a good food. I would recommend you check it out. Especially, if you are a tourist, it is a cool experience. read more

Absolutely not worth the money. HORRIBLY overpriced and the tea is not great. $8.55 for a plain, nothing special, standard tea. That is absolutely ridiculous. There are also no prices on the menu so you don't know what you're paying until you order. Next to a Walmart this is ridiculous. The only reason I'm not giving 1 star is because the tea was still drinkable. read more

OVERPRICED the menu does not tell you how much the drinks are. I got 2 drinks with 2 scoops of boba each which came to a total of 30 dollars absolutely insane. The drinks tasted fine but 30 dollars is way to much. read more

Worst boba in the world. Watered down powdered drinks with undercooked tapioca. Don't listen to any other reviews. Terrible. Customer service was fine though. Which is a shame because the drinks were absolute trash. Expensive ambiance for not good quality. There's WAY better boba places out there. This isn't it. read more

We ordered 2 cups of tea. The store has a great decoration. However, here are some negative things about this store: 1/ The price is way too expensive (around $10, not included tax). Usually, if we get charged this high, we expect to have at least some real fruit in the tea, but they only use syrup. Also, we could not even taste the syrup. 2/ The boba was so hard to chew, which ($1.99 extra) either was left overnight or undercooked. Also, the boba should have been warm all the time. They just left it out in the container, without the lid, as well as other toppings. 3/ The tea cannot be tasted. Tasted like water with syrup. 4/ Only one person who made our tea was nice. The others does not seem care about customers. 5/ They used dome lid but not even filled up to an edge of the cup. We hope the owner(s) understand the situation and improve the store. read more

The service was subpar to say the least. Unenthusiastic and aloof. The ice cream is alright and the coffee was just ok. I originally went for a boba but the tapioca pearls weren't ready. The one guy behind the counter is the only reason I'm leaving a 2 star otherwise it would be 1. He was the only nice person and apologized for the inconvenience. The lobby and tables were dirty and no clear direction on where to start or end the line. The novelty cups and the products in general were too expensive. They do offer a locals discount if that makes a difference. read more

Everything there looks pretty good, they had keychains and all sort of plushies. But the boba and every other drinks were extremely overpriced. One boba tea for 7.99? Usually it wouldn't be a problem unless the drink it huge huge, but it was only 20 oz. Which is about the whole size of your hand. I got the mangonada, and maybe because it's my first time, but it tasted extremely salty. $9 for mangonada is crazy to me. Maybe it's just my opinion, but my brothers got a strawberry boba and it wasn't as good as I expected. Don't buy this if you're not willing to pay overpriced food and drinks for a small amount. read more

Wave Ice Cream & Boba Tea - Mangonada - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Destin, Florida

This place is not worth it. We chose this place because it was closest to where we were staying. There is another one just ten minutes further, with much better reviews (Sweetea Bubble Tea Store). After reading some of the reviews, we didn't know what to expect. Many reviews talked about the rude workers and the boba not being very good. I can confirm this. The Boba tea is extremely overpriced ($10 for 20oz?!) and the ice cream is also overpriced. The Boba tea is not very good, overly sweet, and the tapioca pearls were undercooked. They also charge $2 for "extra boba" and barely give you any extra. For the popping bubbles there is only one flavor, which was disappointing (strawberry). A few sips of the boba drink and I was already sick of the drink because of the sweetness and lack of flavor. What brought my rating all the way down is the rudeness of the workers. The workers look like they do not want to be there and they make the vibe of the place unbearable. Workers were very rude to the customers and kind of snapped at the customers when responding to serious inquiries. The place was a nice place to chill but was not worth the hype. Go to Sweetea Bubble Tea store if you're looking for boba/bubble tea, and find another place for coffee and ice cream if you're looking for coffee or ice cream. read more

Not good boba, poorly made and flavors taste artificial and much more expensive than other boba stores. Would not recommend

I've been to Wave three times, I've ordered an acai bowl (really really good) all three times and a boba tea once, my girlfriend has ordered similarly, all of which has been great. That said, great enough to spend 30-40 dollars on each of these outings? No. Unless you are coming to order the absolute barebones, be prepared to spend 15-25 dollars per person dependent on your order. In my opinion, that's kind of ridiculous for a place like this. I get this is a tourist destination but we are local and really enjoy boba tea and açaí, Wave has it but we still feel like we have little to no viable options nearby. I give Wave an A for its products and a D- for its pricing, thus a three star review. read more

The boba was mid at best but the environment was very gen z/insta influencer vibes. There was a ring light that spins and lots of neon signs and nice tables to take pictures of, but everything there was stupid expensive and it wasn't very high quality. They also put a ton of ice so you don't end up getting very much drink. When we happened to be there, the lady working it was very rude. She kept on rolling her eyes and seemed annoyed when we asked questions. 0/10 service and then she refused to look at us after we didn't give her a tip (we didn't get table service) read more

Not worth the hype their boba is extremely overpriced and the tapioca (boba) is an extra $1.99 for hard undercooked or left out boba. Their customer service is what really drags the place and experience down. Everything is obviously hyped up on Instagram. Not a typical boba place for all my boba enthusiasts. 0/10 don't recommend. read more
